§ 35. When the blessed Saint’s body had been carried back, as we have related, to Durham, Egilwin, in the fifteenth year of his episcopacy, embarked on board a ship in order to leave England, having with him some of the treasures of the church. But the wind drove him back to Scotland, and he was afterwards taken at Elig by the king’s men and brought to Abendune, where he was kept by the king’s command in strict custody. Though he was frequently admonished to restore what he had taken from the church, he persisted with an oath that he had taken nothing. But one day, as he was washing his hands before he sat down to table, a bracelet fell from his arm down to his hand, in the sight of all, and thus convicted the Bishop of perjury. Wherefore, he was, by the king’s command, cast into prison, where his anguish of mind would not allow him to eat, and he died of vexation and want of food.
